varieties, however, are based on misno-

say that blue eyes take care Ofthelr friends,

more rare in these days. This is the blue
that goes into golden hair. Blue eyes
must be mated with their appropriate COM

blonde, is no less delightful in brunette;
but-say the scientists-its meaning Is now
altered. There comes in now, coupled
with the the affectionate qualities,
certain tendency 10 deceive stimulated
BY an ambition for conquest and leading
to the qualification OF admiration. There
remain the light blue and the violet. The
first Is the eye of the northern races

darkens you pass from affection to passion.
Last come the hazel eyer, which are

starts by being green, and passes through
yellow to brown, confusingly illustrated

Adopting this as the color, it will be seen
